Families in Springfield, Illinois Choose Master’s Ranch for Their Boys Who Need a New Start in Life

Master’s Ranch is a home away from home for boys who need proper direction to change the course of their lives. The therapeutic program emphasizes the value of work, taught through ranch chores, assigned chores in the kitchen and dorms, and an outstanding vocational program. Boys live in a structured environment, learning obedience and personal responsibility. We value education as a privilege, and we teach boys to view it the same way.

Master's Ranch Christian AcademyWe begin with physical exercise to bring boys up to a minimum level of fitness. They build strength, they have a reason to feel good about about themselves, and they experience a positive achievement as they begin to see progress in their fitness goals. The same concepts also work well in other areas. In work projects and vocational skills and even in school, their accomplishments bolster confidence so that boys are built up. Meanwhile, we help boys come to terms with the ramifications of their past behaviors. Their thinking straightens out and their inappropriate behavior disappears, replaced with character and integrity.Teens at Master’s Ranch have a reason to succeed.

More about therapeutic schools in or near Springfield, Illinois:

Springfield is the third and current capital of the US state of Illinois and the county seat of Sangamon County with a population of 117,400 , making it the sixth most populated city in the state and the second most populated Illinois city outside of the Chicago Metropolitan Area. Just over 208,000 residents live in the Springfield Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Sangamon County and adjacent Menard County. Present day Springfield was first settled in the late 1810s, around the time Illinois became a state. The most famous past resident is Abraham Lincoln, who lived in Springfield itself from 1837 until he went to the White House in 1861. Major tourist attractions include a multitude of historic sites connected with Lincoln. In 1908 a large race riot erupted in the city which culminated in the lynching of two African American residents and led to the founding of the NAACP.
The city lies on a mostly flat plain which encompasses much of the surrounding countryside. There is more hilly terrain near the Sangamon River. Lake Springfield, a large artificial lake owned by City Water, Light & Power company called CWLP, supplies the city with recreation and drinking water. Weather is fairly typical for middle latitude locations, with hot summers and cold winters. Spring and summer weather is like that of most midwestern cities; severe thunderstorms are common. Tornadoes hit Springfield in 1957 and 2006.
The city is governed by a mayor-council form of government. The city proper is also the “Capital Township” governmental entity. In addition, the government of the state of Illinois is also based in Springfield. State government entities located in the city include the Illinois General Assembly, the Illinois Supreme Court and the Office of the Governor of Illinois. There are three public and two private high schools in Springfield. Public schools in Springfield are operated by District No. 186. The economy of Springfield is marked by government jobs, which account for a large percentage of the work force in the city.

Testimonials

“The good results I see from Master’s Ranch Christian Academy far exceed anything I ever first imagined. At a time when it seems many of today’s youth are unwilling to work it’s a delight to know that Master’s Ranch teaches young individuals about the importance of hard work, honesty, and, foremost, the love of God.”

Fred O’Neill
Prosecuting Attorney

“We are so very thankful for you, your family, and all the staff at Master’s Ranch Christian Academy. As a father of a young man that graduated from the ranch, we are forever in your debt.”

Parent Of Former Student

“I grew up in Pensacola Florida, and was sent to stay at Master’s Ranch in late 2014 by my parents. Having already been in another program, I admit I was bitter and worse than I had been before.”

Jason H.
Student

“I am a wife, mother, sister, and my favorite role has always been a mother to my son. Once a troubled teen, drugs, sex, and much worse. That’s when we made the decision to take him to Master’s Ranch.”

Tracy Carpenter – Mobley
Parent

“I was lost! I mean everything from drugs, alcohol, gangs, gang violence, women, stealing and pornography. I was also in another program where I was accused of being manipulative behind staffs back and they kicked me out.”

Stephan Delaware
Student

“Our son is a bright, athletic, and very social young man who during his sophomore year in high school started having difficulties. His grades dropped dramatically and his attitude was deteriorating equally fast.”

Jeff And Brenda
Parent

“Words cannot describe the thankfulness I have for all that you have done for me in my life. I am only alive today and not in prison because of you. Had Master’s Ranch and Christian Academy not been started, I would have gone through with the hit job in Texas that morning and I would be in prison, but instead I am in Bible college serving God. When I had arrived at the ranch I did not want to be there, but now I am so thankful I had been sent to you.”

JP
Student

“My name is Kim R., we lived in California because my husband was in the Air Force. We were the average family. I was a stay-at-home mom, I was able to care for my kids and get them to where they needed to be. We kept them busy with sports and always supported them in what they participated in. Mitch is the middle child, caring, funny, and always looking for attention.”

Kim R.
Parent

“I was sent to the Masters Ranch because I was getting into drugs pretty heavily. I started out my rebellion by not coming home on time. I wanted to “hang out” with my friends and that became more important to me than listening to my parents. If my mom would not have made the difficult decision to send me here I am positive I would have wrecked my brain to the point of being mentally insane.”
